Sen. McNasty likes to talk about the conflict this summer between Russia and Georgia over the contested area of South Ossetia. He wants people to think that he was a champion of freedom in the region. But, as we see, he was far more involved in inciting the government of Georgia in provoking an incident with the Russians, who were acting as "peacekeepers" in South Ossetia (big mistake). His foreign policy advisor, Randy Scheunemann, was a paid lobbyist for the Georgian government, and had an interest in bringing the conflict to the attention of America. It's a story of miscalculation, arrogance and stupidity.
In other words, it's got McNasty written all over it.
